ATHLETICS What a life! Yes, sir! Not a fellow, nor a girl either, for that matter, fails to recognize the importance of physical fitness! The Casey athletic program is gradually being increased to include more and more students in the extra-curricular athletic activities. This year different home-rooms organized basketball teams which played their games at the noon hour. Basketball isn't the only thing our students are enthusiastic about; you should see them turn out for football games. That reminds us, tennis and track receive their share of popularity, too. Why do C.T.H.S. youths show so much interes in athletics? Perhaps you people who haven't had much experience in the theatre don't realize how important it is to be physically fit. That is one of the biggest reasons everyone is so interested in sports. Then, too, we learn to play the game; we would rather lose than win unfairly. Our players are learning one of the biggest lessons in life—life's a game just as basketball or football is—every man wants to win, but it's most important just to play the game! 28

FOOTBALL '41 It's been a bad season for C.T.H.S. on the gridiron. To start off with, the majority of the squad were raw recruits without previous experience against hardened teams. The injuries sustained by Don Galey, Ray Dill, Bud Ballinger and Oliver Hosier added to the check marks against the team. Besides these hindrances Casey was at an additional loss because of the lack of offensive push when placed in scoring positions. We are all looking forward to next year when a more experienced team will be placed in the line-up. Casey. .. 2 Charleston T.
